Spain Adopts EU Copyright Law, Paving Way For Google News To Return
https://www.reuters.comSpain has adopted a European Union copyright directive that allows third-party online news platforms to negotiate directly with content providers, the government said on Tuesday, setting the stage for Alphabet’s Google News to return to the country.
Google News, which links to third-party content, closed in Spain in late 2014 in response to legislation that forced it to pay a collective licensing fee to republish headlines or snippets of news.
